From f5246b7df447ac76ec04c6e5add398862d1c9ccd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AshishKumar Mishra Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2025 21:10:09 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] meta-oe: image: optionally remove RAW image after sparse image creation When creating sparse images, the RAW image is no longer needed in some workflows such as Android and CI pipelines. These RAW images can be multi-GB artifacts and consume significant disk space. This change introduces a configuration option `DELETE_RAWIMAGE_AFTER_SPARSE_CMD` which, when set to "1", removes the RAW image after sparse image generation. This reduces disk usage in builds where sparse images are the final deliverables and RAW images are not required. Default behavior is unchanged: RAW images are kept unless the variable is explicitly enabled: DELETE_RAWIMAGE_AFTER_SPARSE_CMD = "1" # Delete RAW image DELETE_RAWIMAGE_AFTER_SPARSE_CMD = "0" # Default behavior Signed-off-by: AshishKumar Mishra Signed-off-by: Khem Raj --- meta-oe/classes/image_types_sparse.bbclass | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/meta-oe/classes/image_types_sparse.bbclass b/meta-oe/classes/image_types_sparse.bbclass index d6ea68968e..5416c2a019 100644 --- a/meta-oe/classes/image_types_sparse.bbclass +++ b/meta-oe/classes/image_types_sparse.bbclass @@ -9,9 +9,15 @@ SPARSE_BLOCK_SIZE ??= "4096" CONVERSIONTYPES += "sparse" +DELETE_RAWIMAGE_AFTER_SPARSE_CMD ??= "0" + CONVERSION_CMD:sparse = " \ truncate --no-create --size=%${SPARSE_BLOCK_SIZE} "${IMAGE_NAME}.${type}"; \ img2simg -s "${IMAGE_NAME}.${type}" "${IMAGE_NAME}.${type}.sparse" ${SPARSE_BLOCK_SIZE}; \ + if [ "${DELETE_RAWIMAGE_AFTER_SPARSE_CMD}" = "1" ]; then \ + rm -f ${IMAGE_NAME}.${type};\ + bbwarn "Raw file ${IMAGE_NAME}.${type} removed" ;\ + fi;\ " CONVERSION_DEPENDS_sparse = "android-tools-native"
